Zhou Tianzheng looked at Lin Wan, whose hair was unkempt and her face was pale, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little sour. She could have been like the Zhao family, she could have gone away and fly high, she could have not ventured into the palace to treat Zhou Chang'an's illness, she could have stayed away from right and wrong, and was not subject to these sufferings. However, she returned, and she was tortured like this.

Lin Wan took a deep breath, slowly regained some sense, propped up his body, knelt on the ground, lowered his head, gave himself some time, and gathered some strength and courage.

Zhou Tianzheng's cold voice sounded above his head: "Miss Sun San, who tortured you like this?

Lin Wan's voice was very weak, if it weren't for the incomparably quiet in the hall, I was afraid that no one would be able to hear her voice, she replied in a low voice: "Back to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, no one tortured the people's daughters, let alone tortured them. ”

Zhou Tianzheng was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Wan to help Qi Kun and Zhou Tianhong speak, and he was speechless for a while. thought in his heart, Lin Wan must have been threatened, and there must be something unspeakable.

Zhou Tianhong was overjoyed in his heart, and asked loudly: "Sun Yiyi, you say what you said in the prison of the Criminal Department in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty." ”

Lin Wan still knelt on the ground, but without hesitation, he memorized the contents of the confession as it was, not a single word, not a lot of words.

After Lin Wan finished reciting, the officials in the court began to discuss, but Zhou Tianhong and Qi Kun's brows slowly wrinkled.

Zhou Tianzheng glanced lightly at the officials in the hall who were talking, snorted lightly, and sneered: "Miss Sun San's memory is really good!"

Lin Wan didn't answer Zhou Tianzheng's words, and he didn't know how to explain it, but he still knelt motionless in the center of the hall. Looking at the smooth jade floor, I listened carefully to the discussions of the officials around me.

Suddenly, Qi Kun's high-pitched voice overwhelmed all the discussions in the court, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince, since Sun Yiyi has already confessed in front of everyone, naturally there will be no falsehood. It's better to let Sun Yiyi sign and draw the charge immediately, and the case will be closed. ”

Zhou Tianzheng snorted coldly, squinted at Qi Kun, and said disdainfully: "Then, according to Lord Qi, how should we convict this prince, the mastermind behind the scenes?

Qi Kun turned his head and glanced at Zhou Tianzheng, and was frightened by Zhou Tianzheng's sharp gaze. But then he straightened his waist again, bowed his hand to Zhou Tianhong, and said sternly: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince, there is a way that the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people! Not to mention the crime of killing the emperor and killing his father, how can he tolerate the crime of murdering the emperor?"

Zhou Tianzheng's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he shouted violently, "Qi Kun! Do you know what crime you should be guilty of framing the prince?"

Qi Kun turned his heart sideways and said-for-tat: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, if you don't know, unless you don't do it! Sun Yiyi heard about the rebellion between you and the concubines of the Third Prince, and he has already confessed in public. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Third Prince still wants to deny it?"

"Lord Qi, then do you mean that our Liu family and the Lu Guogong Mansion also participated in the rebellion? Do you also want to punish the crime together?" Liu Qingyuan's voice sounded slowly in the main hall, although the voice was not loud, but it was so shocked that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to speak out again.

Zhou Tianhong sat on top of the high hall, frowning, squinting his eyes, looking at these officials in the hall, all of them lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking, but they completely threw this problem to Zhou Tianhong.

Qi Kun wanted to say a few more words, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed back timidly. At this moment, Zhou Tianzheng and Liu Qingyuan were staring at him, although Lu Zhenting had not expressed his position for the time being. However, Liu Qingyuan had already dragged the Lu Guogong Mansion into the water, and Lu Zhenting naturally couldn't stay out of it. Qi Kun has always slipped his head, and when he saw that no one echoed him, and Zhou Tianhong didn't say anything, he immediately stopped talking and didn't say more.

Zhou Tianhong didn't expect that things would develop like this. He didn't plan to spread out this matter in the court today, nor did he think about forcing Zhou Tianzheng, Liu Qingyuan and Lu Zhenting to one front.

Looking at Lin Wan, who was kneeling in the center of the main hall, Zhou Tianhong frowned, and secretly blamed Qi Kun in his heart, why didn't he explain things clearly? How could she recite her confession in public, and moreover, memorize it word for word? Is it so obvious that she is afraid that others will not know?

Wu Cheng saw that everyone didn't speak, so he slowly walked to the center of the main hall, stood in front of Lin Wan, and asked in a deep voice: "Miss Sun San, when this official went to the prison of the Criminal Department yesterday to prepare for your interrogation, Lord Qi had already interrogated you in the torture room, so this official didn't know much about Lord Qi's trial at that time. This official just wants to ask you: Are all the confessions written on this confession your true confession? Why can you memorize them word for word? Judging from my official's many years of experience in adjudicating cases, most prisoners use their own words when giving confessions, but when they record the plan, they will be more concise and the meaning can be expressed accurately. Even if you repeat what you said in front of Lord Qi yesterday word for word, it will not be exactly the same as the confession on the confession, how can you explain this?"

Lin Wan raised his head in a panic, looked at Wu Cheng's awe-inspiring gaze, and couldn't help shrinking his body and lowered his head.

Wu Cheng saw that Lin Wan didn't speak, and he didn't force her anymore, he arched his hand to Zhou Tianhong, and said: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince, when Wechen went to the prison yesterday, Miss Sun San had already been tortured, and later fainted, so Wechen has not had a chance to interrogate Miss Sun San properly." However, Wechen found a piece of evidence, which may prove that the content of this confession was not from Miss Sun San's original intention. ”

Qi Kun was stunned when he heard this, and his body began to tremble slightly, what he was most afraid of was the guarantee, could it be that the guarantee had fallen into Wu Cheng's hands?

Zhou Tianhong glanced at Qi Kun coldly, and said quietly: "Wu Aiqing, present your evidence." ”

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "His Royal Highness the Great Prince, that piece of evidence is in the hands of Jin Zhutou, and he is waiting for His Highness at the moment." ”

Zhou Tianhong frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Xuan!"

Immediately, a eunuch shouted to Xuanjin Zhutou into the hall, and after a while, Jin Zhutou strode in, knelt in the center of the hall, and said loudly: "Weichen see His Royal Highness the Great Prince!"

Zhou Tianhong secretly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't know what was wrong. However, now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, he has no choice but to nod and say: "Jin Zhutou, present the evidence in your hand." ”
